. In Dutch and Germanic cultures Hel was perceived as less cruel and brutal in contrary to the Viking Folklore. This wallpiece is made out of Epoxy clay. Many of the attributes are taxidermic. The Ravenwings and the Cobra on the crown in her head are real. Also the feathers on her back are. On her chest I have placed the Raven skull with the Viking Compass. In the dark this ravenskull lights up in blue when it has been in the daylight. On her solaris plexis I have placed a shield with the sunwheel. Her dress is made out of real cobraskin and ravenfeathers. The reason why i have given her white agate eyes is as follows: It gently shows you the truth of situations. This stone helps with emotional balance, offering courage, balance, endurance to body, mind, spirit. It smooths and stabilizes the aura and helps precision of inner sight. Agate helps to get in touch with the inner self including the Shadow. It transmutes dark emotions, such as jealousy, bitterness, and resentment, and promotes self-acceptance and self-forgiveness. Hel is simnply the way she is. I have given Hel attributes like raven wings and a cobrahead, because Hel is a dauntless and intimadating giantess. The Jotun were a family that were noted as highly dangerous and notorious as they often disputed the Norse gods. ( for me that means questioning the regular moral and correctness) Yet the Raven is a messenger and often stands for the sentinel and the Shadowsoul and Vardoger ( Guardian) for those who dare to set foot in more uncharted territories in life. For me this is a piece of initiation and her creation is a stand alone. She is entirely unique because I do not repeat my creations! The wallpiece has been designed in such a way that she can be hung flat to the wall and it looks like she is coming right out of it. Beautiful for homedecors with spice and dark tones and she is for the dauntless owner who knows how to wield her!! The Photos have been taken in both Summer and in Winter light. No filters were used. *Once a year I make 1 to maximal 2 large busts or wallpieces. These initiatory creations take time, carefully selected materials and accuracy as they are detailed and handmade. Should you want me to do a customized order then please send me a message as well!* Full video on the item can be found on my fb page: .1145724102488936/1145718469156166/?type=3&theater Please visit my website for more specifications:

Esther, also known as Black Meridians, is creating (un)earthly expressions on Canvas and forges it in Solid Matter since childhood. Fascinated by the darker aspects of the old masters that are held to the light of modern times and fascinated by the sometimes sinister figures that well up from the subconscious mind she paved way in artcrafts like drawing, writing, painting and sculpturing. Elements from ancient cultures like Greece and Egypt, Asia and Africa are often surfacing and revived combined with inhuman characteristics. As she is triggered by archetypes that are constantly causing her to mutate and transform her creations into new forms of an ethereal sovereignty and which often are of a Dark and Sultry ambiance, she uses high quality attributes like for instance gemstones and taxidermic supplies for her sculptures. Her paintings are often finished with bronze, brass, copper or gold pigmented paints to express the richness of autonomic life. As for her person: She uses these forms of art as a means of initiation. This results in artforms that won’t be and cannot be repeated or recreated. Each piece is therefore unique and singular in its presence and has been part of her personal transformation as she walks the initiatory Left Hand Path and ventures out on the road of Neomythology. (Taking certain mythological or fantasy figures as a means to integrate several aspects of their being into the personality in such way that it becomes functional and effective when applied to real life.) This has resulted too into the writing of several Grimoires like the quite recent APEX 218 (2020-2021) and Black Sun Imperium (2019) as some Sci Fi books The keyword is “Manifestation”. She writes: “When we execute rituals, crafting artforms in the mind, perform psychodrama, but its effect will not manifest on the physical plane, than it is an exercize in futility. The subconsciousness is so much more powerful. Even more than we are willing or daring to admit, but on the end it is this thing that will direct the course of our life. If you are unaware of it, than you will call it destiny or fate. You have to explore and to channel it for attempting to kick it back into the curb will only result in detrimental manifestations that can often be quite bizarre and most often, harmful.” It is therefore no wonder she was intrigued and inspired when reading the material of for instance; Karl Jung, Edgar Allen Poe, Maslow, Gurdjieff, H.P.
